Members of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and partner civil society groups on Tuesday embarked on rallies to protest the high cost of living across the country.
Protests were held in various states like Lagos, Kano, Oyo and Abuja while there have been reports of disruptions in Borno.
The NLC accuses the government of reneging on an agreement to put in place policies to mitigate the suffering of workers due to the removal of petrol subsidies. The government says it is doing its best.
They are also protesting the government’s alleged failure to implement agreements reached between both parties on October 2, 2023, following the removal of the fuel subsidy.
The decision followed the conclusion of a 14-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government to implement measures against the widespread hardship.
